Entropy disorder and quantum correlations in two Unruh-deWitt detectors uniformly accelerating and interacting with a massless scalar field

Abstract

This investigation focuses on studying the dynamics of entropy disorder and quantum correlations between two detectors interacting with a scalar field in a four-dimensional Minkowski space-time using the Unruh-deWitt model. The aim is to gain insights into the evolution of quantum resources in uniformly accelerated detectors that interact with a massless scalar field. To achieve this, useful metrics such as local quantum Fisher information (LQFI), quantum consonance, and linear entropy are employed to analyze the quantum correlations and entropy disorder. The results indicate that the quantum correlations are heavily reliant on the choice of the initial state of the detectors. Interestingly, the quantum correlations exhibit a surprising resurgence as the Unruh temperature increases for specific initial state parameters. However, for other values, the Unruh temperature takes over and leads to a monotonic decrease in the quantum correlations. However, the degree of disorder is observed to increase as the Unruh temperature increases. Furthermore, the investigation delves into how the energy spacing of the detector affects quantum correlations across various initial state parameters. Further elucidating the behavior of quantum resources in curved space-time, we demonstrate that some initial state parameters can cause sudden changes in correlation measures as a function of energy spacing. These results highlight the relevance of choosing adequate initial state parameters, as they have a significant impact on the variation of quantum resources in two Unruh-deWitt detectors.
